Artist description A combination of influences spanning several eras of rock n roll appears to have finally molded into what we now know as 'Monstrous Blues'. The band has ex-members of many local Wollongong luminaries and have over the years soaked up their share of garage, metal, grunge, psychedelia, pop, punk and rock n roll to care anymore about slotting into a genre. They do what they do and have always done - make a noise and have a laugh

Press Reviews "This ep seems to exemplify the diversity of this band, with 5 very individual sounding songs, which all manage to depict various styles without losing too much continuity." Oliver Keefe, Halfway To Nowhere, Australia "So this is a damn good listen. For those that like their hard rock riffs with a little imagination, it's an even better listen." Chris Barnes, CustomHeavy.com, USA "Fu Manchu meets the Beach Boys" Justin Donnelly, Utopia Magazine, Australia "Octane increases the fury to red line with a fat pounding bass line and solid grating guitar to pump the arms to and deliver some much needed local Kung-Fu." Dieter Kraus, Beat Magazine, Australi
